I agree when I look at the Knicks roster thats the only thing thats missing one more knockdown 3 point shooter.

But this a good thread and I think it's a recipe for success history has shown you win with your stars in their prime or around their prime and with veteran role players.

Miami's role players besides Chalmers and Cole all vets

Dallas in 11' all vets

Lakers in 09 and 10' role players were vets

Boston in 08 another team filled with veteran role players

What people don't get is that this Knicks team would be a bust most likely if they were calling for Kidd to be the starting PG and play heavy minutes or Camby being the starting C or Sheed being like a 6th man or something playing heavy minutes.

The Knicks have a plethora of savvy vets who will be playing no more than prob 15-20 mins a game and in short sports they will produce consistently unlike young players who often struggle with limited inconsistent minutes.

I'm a Lakers fan but I really like the way this Knicks team is put together besides health I can't see this team falling apart there's too many vets and experience in that locker to allow mental lapses and inconsistent play.

too much like Novak, we need someone to come off of curls and baseline stagger screens

Ray Allen
Kyle Korver

those type of shooters, Novak is good in the corner and coming off down screens not sure about running him off the baseline

I think we are trying to double dip too much with the 3 pointers, look at our roster of shooters this year compared to last. It's miles in front and Brewer will be Melo's back up once Shumpert get's back so we won't have spacing issues for too long, besides Kidd and Melo can still hit the open 3, Brewer isn't abysmal and will still hit some. He has been working hard on it.

I have to agree too! When I saw him in that uniform shooting, he looked like he should be out there still lol. I've always thought he was a better shooter/scorer than Ray Allen & was underappreciated when we had Spree.

Old Veterans

We do not simply have "veterans" who are "old." We have veterans who have had illustrious careers and who will command respect even from our somewhat younger principal players.

Lets face it, despite athletic capacity both Melo and Amare' have a tendency to let down on defense. Sheed, Camby and Kidd, given their time in service and standing, will have no reluctance to call them out on the occasions they manifest defensive disinterest. Melo and Amare' are more likely to pay attention to criticism from veterans who were prime time stars in the not so distant past.
